GUEST,Re Bill Adams	Old Sailor-Poets (early 1900's) (123* d)	RE: Old Sailor-Poets (early 1900's)	21 Feb 09
I'm a little late on picking up your thread on Bill Adams but my wife's grandfather was (Capt.)Lionel Dale Douglas and shipped on the Silberhorn as an apprentice seaman with Bill Adams. Douglas was aboard from 1897 to 1900 sailing from Liverpool and Antwerp on 3 return voyages to British Columbia, Oregon and California. I am not sure how many of those voyages Adams was also a part of. I have many letters from Adams to Douglas between 1932 and 1949 in which he recounts their experiences on the Silberhorn and his subsequent non-seafaring activities ashore. Douglas went on to a long career with Canadian Pacific Steamships sailing between Vancouver and the Orient... a career that Adams appeared envious of.
